The University of Mary offers programs in various professions leading to a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Science, or a Bachelor of University Studies degree. To attain a Bachelor of Science degree, a student will complete the following:

1. A minimum of 128 semester hours with satisfactory grades of which at least 44 semester hours are on the 300-400 level with a minimum grade point average of C (2.00) in all credits included in the degree or the minimum grade point average as required by the major.
2. A minimum of 56 semester hours of credit in liberal arts courses. These credits are to be distributed as follows:

Courses meeting the aesthetic requirement* should provide the student with an understanding of the basic structures of the art form, insight into how the artist creates, and the ability to make critical judgments. This would include introductory courses in art, music or literature. (One full year of a foreign language substitutes for ENG 103. The second full year of the same language substitutes for COM 109 except if required by major.)
